Post them, and why they’re your favorite band.

Scatman. How many other bands get lung cancer and still perform so as not to dissapoint their fans?

Also, inb4 “Scatman’s an artist, not a band!” I took some liberties with the criteria.

Beatles duh because there full of awesome

403 Forbiddena. Only because ‘Northern Lights’ and ‘Southern Cross’ are 2 awesome songs. They’re music mix is brilliant

FEAR OF TIGERS!

Enough Said.

@Erwinator

Whenever I listen to 403 Forbiddena, I just imagine that it’s what Dragonforce would sound like if Herman Li was singing. XD

Anyways, it’s pretty obvious what my favorite band is. The real reason, though is “Say it Ain’t So.” I connected with that song on such a huge level. The rest is history. =3

Dan Deacon isn’t a band but I can’t get enough of his music.

I have far too many favorite bands, but as of right now, I’d say Ziontod. I love their lyrics. PANZERSCHLAAAAG!

They Might Be Giants…

Never heard any TMBG, except for on the opening of Maclom in the Middle…

It used to be Metallica, mainly because they’re the only heavy band that doesn’t look like they worship Satan.

Now it’s Green Day, because they have catchy songs with lessons.

Its either Coldplay, the Killers, or Tally Hall. I cant pick favorites.

Tenacious D anyone ?

Not really a band, but everyone at OC Remix is great.

DJ Shadow

It was my first day in photo class in my sophomore year of high school. Our teacher had us split into groups and said “get to know the five people at your table well because you’ll be judging each other’s work for the rest of the year.” So the first thing someone brought up was “what kind of music do you listen to?”
I went on and on about scratch artists like DJ Q-Bert and trance acts like the Platypus Sound System. Then this dude in my group who was a senior, I forget his name, asked me “Have you ever heard DJ Shadow?”
“no.”
“Listen to DJ Shadow. It’ll change your life.”
I didn’t think much of it, thinking, “whatever. I know what I like.”
The next day he gave me a burned copy of Endtroducing.
He was right. To this day, Endtroducing is one of my favorite albums ever, and DJ Shadow is one of my favorite artists. I listen to a lot of different styles of music, but DJ Shadow’s beats really made a mark on my taste from that point onward. When I first heard the album, it was already 4 years old, but it’s become totally timeless to me.

I saw him play at First Ave in Minneapolis on my 18th birthday as part of his tour for The Private Press in 2002. The show was really low-key, and it seemed like the rest of the crowd had no clue who he was. Either that, or they just didn’t idolize him like I did. The set was amazing, either way.

My two faves are Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Bump of Chicken.
But Bump of Chicken wins by a hair.

They are so cool and smexy-like. Especially the second one from the right. He’s the lead singer and I think his voice is just perfect. >3< Their songs are mostly sad but also very deep and it’s really quite satisfying when you start to understand the songs.

Laugh Maker
“With our backs against each other with the door between us
Crying voices mixed with hiccups
Hugging our knees with our backs against each other
Completely tired out crying voices
Do you still intend to make me laugh, Laugh Maker?
Its the only thing I live for
If I don’t make you laugh I can’t go home”

Dude from what I’ve heard of DJ Shadow, amazing. Nuf said.
oh the TMBG thing was a joke. [although they are pretty awesome]
I really will go for any type of music. I think it comes from being a musician, Percussionist/Composer/Arranger.

DJ Shadow rocks. I like the classic hip hop and 20s vibe. Bands like RJD2 and Wax tailor. Really classy stuff.

favorite songs from DJ Shadow would be fixed Income and Mongrel meets his maker. I haven’t listened to these guys in a long time.

You are awesome chris

That’s like saying “you are blue sky”

How about “You are even more awesome than you were before…” even that doesn’t work.

The validity and scale of your awesomeness continues to grow at a rate not humanly measurable at this point in time or ever

aw shucks :)

definitely agree DJ Shadow is dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign. Saw him at an outdoor venue a year ago, it was raining lots and if i remember correctly, he played jimi hendrix remix on a turntable guitar(?). it was epic.

and four tet i also like:

Jesus you guys listen to some crappy stuff. I’m classic rock, all the way. Also, 80’s rock. Everything from Led Zep to Def Leppard to Van Halen. Though The Misfits, Slayer, and Megadeth are all personal favorites.

Oh I loves mes sum classic Rock too!

any one like Grunge?

my borther….
but i like to listen to
Streetlight manifesto
Reel big Fish
The Beatles
Modest Mouse
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

On second thought, I think it’d be easier if I just posted my Last.fm profile.

I will totally grow up to be the guy who does that voice.

I’ve actually been that guy, I dabbled in voice acting.

I’d be that guy, or the guy in English videos who talks really slow for foreign language classes in other countries.

System of a Down mostly because of this:

I also like me some AC/DC and Queen.

Holy crap; It’s Wringer!
